Sony Xperia XZ

Sony’s Xperia XZ takes what could be yet another Android smartphone and makes it unique with its delicate blend of a stylish design, powerful camera and screen that’s been made to be similar to Sony’s HD televisions. This means that the XZ is packed with features thanks to its Android architecture and advanced technology.

The Xperia XZ’s camera redefines the way we think about mobile photography, and is clearly one of the main selling points of the device. Users will have a huge 23 megapixels to play with on the rear camera, making it easily the most powerful you’ll find on a mobile device. Sony has always prioritised the camera on its smartphones, with the the XZ being no exception with its triple image sensing technology, superfast focus and wide-angle lens. The front-facing camera also offers 13 megapixels of power, allowing for super-detailed selfies. The front camera also uses a wide-angle lens, meaning you can fit all of your friends into one shot. Overall, the camera features on the XZ are a step above its competitors, making it a phone you should really consider if you’re interested in mobile photography.

Sony prides itself on using the same technology in its phone displays as it does its BRAVIA TV range. This is no different with the Xperia XZ, which has been made to make everything a pleasure to view. At 5.2 inches, the display is a medium size, offering a sort of smartphone/phablet hybrid that’s plenty big enough for whatever you use your phone for. The Triluminos technology used in the display means that colours are more bright and vibrant than ever before, with the display combining with the powerful camera to show off the best pictures ever taken on a smartphone.

The XZ packs in a lot of technology under the hood, offering a 64-bit quad-core processor and 3GB of RAM. This means that the phone runs super-fast and smooth, allowing it to take anything you can throw at it. Whether you’re a mobile gamer or just love streaming music and TV, you’ll be able to do it all without any slowdown or lag. The XZ also allows for interchangeable memory, giving you up to 256GB of storage if you use a microSD card. The Smart Charging feature will also change the way you charge your phone. This function learns when you charge your phone and stores battery so that you’ll always have enough to get you through the day.

What We Think

The Xperia XZ is the best phone Sony has ever produced, blending a supremely stylish design with a dazzling screen and one of the best camera’s you’ll find on a smartphone. If mobile photography is a priority for you, the XZ can’t come recommended enough.
